I think that’s oversimplifying it. On the Wikipedia article there is a discussion of dowry as a type of inheritance for women, even proposing that
When families give dowry, they not only ensure their daughter’s economic security, they also “buy” the best possible husband for her, and son-in-law for themselves.
No, the dowry is the price the woman’s parents pay.
Women were seen as a burden. So in order to make women more appealing to marry, the woman’s parents had to give a dowry.
You’re thinking of a bride price, which is the opposite.
